Has anyone pur Xpel 8 mil on the center screen for fingerprint control/cleaning?

This is a bad idea, IMO.

Don't bother with trying to put film on it that won't look nearly as good and will require slip solution that could damage the electronics behind the screen.

It's much easier to just install one of the many screen protectors already offered by the aftermarket. The matte protector from @twraps has fantastic fit and finish.

Ppf would probably look pretty terrible. Get the Spigen tempered glass one. I removed my twaps one as the Spigen was much nicer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09V1Q9FDV?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I tried applying a screen protector, but found it made the screen even more reflective, forcing me to focus longer on it to see anything. Not a bueno when driving. My biggest concern is sunlight/UV, and from what I could tell, the protector only guards against scratches and fingerprints. I don't wear rings, and fingerprints are easy to wipe off, so I just leave it as-is.

Highly recommend Abstract Ocean matte glass screen protectors. A bit higher price vs competitors but worth it.

You need to make sure you get the matte version.

Will ramp up in February

I put a Matte screen protector on both the speedometer and main display and both have been solid. Less fingerprints and glare, I’d recommend one of those.

Their version isn't glass, according to their website: "9H Hardness PET material with black borders"

AO Matte protectors, highly recommended. You do lose some clarity compared to clear, but definitely helps cut down on glare.

Why?? Far easier to keep a small squirt bottle of screen cleaner and small microfiber. The seat cubby is a perfect spot for it. Prior to delivery I thought this was going to be an issue. But since delivery I’ve come to realize it isn’t at all. I just don’t look at the screen long enough to notice fingerprints. Plus the antiglare type films tend to make the screen look washed out if light hits it just right. Not worth the cost or hassle to put one on, without trapping dust and bubbles, when occasional cleaning takes just a few seconds.

Oops, old description...no black borders nowadays. That was v1, we are on v2 right now (no black borders, no sensor cutouts and thicker material).
But to confirm - yes, we do PET based, not TG based screen protectors. While I know some people prefer TG, my experience being on the other side of this is that we see a lot more happier customers with PET compared to TG, as PET doesn't break/shatter, while TG breaks easily, for many - during installation or even transit...and then one ding with your phone or similar and it shatters. No such issues with PET.

I have the abstract ocean gloss screen protectors for all three of my screens and I highly recommend them. I am struggling with the rear screen one as it isn’t sticking properly but since I don’t see it often I keep forgetting to reach out to AO about it.

This is the one I used:

I have the Xpel stealth PPF installed on all my screens. Works great, no glare, easy to wipe off the dust and stuff, and also is smooth to the touch.
